    1. Jack,
      I appreciate the question.
      Just to sum it up, islam in Arabic means complete. Its way beyond worship, it is the meaning of your existence and your relation with the Creator (After all we have been created by Someone). Islam is about how to be a human, from treating people to keeping yourself clean. And islam is a super set of all religions of the past, we cant be muslims if we dont believe in Moses or Jesus as Prophets. :) this is where it ends.

    2. hi :-) there are many many versions of islam these days and most of them are only for misguiding those who dont kno! just remember that a true muslim believes that there is only One God and He sent many massengers to guide the mankind and all of them delivered His true message! the last prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was sent for the whole world! A real muslim believes in Allah,trusts him in every situation,doesnt harm anyone or hurt anyone and believes in the rights of every other living being and his own duties!! u want to know about islam then know the person who delivered islam to us,our prophet hazrat Muhammad(p.b.u.h.) and dont judge islam by looking at the so called muslims these days. Look for Dr.Zakir Naaik,Dr.Israr Ahmed,Molana Taariq Jameel and Islamic Research Foundation.
      I hope Allah guides u to the right path! Amen!!

    3. why would you want him to go to this website, it is against Muslims..regarding the people who sound like Muslims, but are not.

  1. A fantastic collection. Thanks. Although beautiful mosques are not limited to these and as Amer mentioned “Al-Aqsa” is a great candidate and so is the “Taaj Mahal” in India.

    1. The Taj Mahal itself is not a mosque, although there is a mosque next to it which is within the gardens.

  2. Unfortunately, yes. :-(

    But don’t worry, I’ve been assured that islam is all about peace and love, so it’s all good.

      1. That’s true, personally I’m more concerned with all the *Buddhist* suicide bombers, terrorists, et al.; since their numbers are similar and they are obviously the more violent of the two.

        (But between you and me, it’s really the Hindu gangs we need to worry about)

        Good thing you guys are so tolerant. Thank you for that.

      2. extremist all religious have it, but as for current circumstance, extremist of Islam notice by the world more.

        But let put all that aside, and enjoy the beauty of the masjid.
